Unit 008 3.1 & 3.2, Unit 009 3.2Explain how to establish and maintain a safe and supportive learning environment Explain how to promote appropriate behaviour and respect for others Explain how to establish ground rules with learners to promote respect for others As a tutor, I have many responsibilities to make the learners of which I teach, feel safe and supported in their learning environment. As I have seen my tutors do before, I must do a risk assessment for the room where I plan to teach before any of my students enter the classroom. I must ensure that there are minimal risks that could potentially cause harm to my learners, any visitors or me. I must check around the room for such things as: Faulty wiring, leads trailing on the floor, obstructions from the fire exits and windows, out of date fire extinguishers and other such hazards. The check should be logged on a site approved risk assessment sheet, signed off and kept in a file, for reference if any queries are made, and future use as this must be done before every class taken. After welcoming my class of new students into the room, I introduce myself. I do the register to ensure that all students are here, and as each person makes them self known, I acknowledge them individually with a nod and a smile. This is a way to ensure that each learner feels welcomed and noticed; and also in the hope that I learn names quickly. Taking into consideration most learners work well when they have goals set I go through with the students break times and what time the end of session will be. I then explain that the register is not just to establish attendance, but also doubles as a fire register, so if there happens to be a fire I know whether or not they should be at the assembly point with us. It is then important to take contact details for all students in case a reason arises that they must be called, and emergency contact telephone numbers so that if an unfortunate incident does occur, all efforts can be made...

In my area of practise I will use different strategies for the area I will be teaching, if it is a theory class or a practical class, these may include; computer assisted learning, demonstrations, discussions, practical work, questionnaires, research, work experience and working in pairs or groups (appendices).
“The strategies will very much depend upon the subject you are teaching, and the context and environment you are teaching in” ( Gravells 2012 p46)
To meet the needs of all my learners I often use demonstration for practical tasks as it is a way of integrating all learning styles. Students can watch my demonstrations (visual), listen to my explanations (aural), read any instructions on a hand-out (read and write), then go and practice the task for them (kinaesthetic). I think demonstrations are a very effective way of learning as it meets the needs of individual and group learning styles.
Whether you are teaching individuals or groups will very much determine the approaches you take, all the different strategies I use enable learning to take place; demonstrations, discussions or practical work. I will use many strategies in one session varying my approaches during my sessions to help keep students attention. “Different approaches can help ascertain any particular student’s needs” (Gravells 2012 p48)
Inclusive learning is about involving all of your students during the session, treating them equally and fairly and not excluding anyone for any reason....

Introduction
“Ground rules” or “community norms” should provide the community within a workshop or class a framework to ensure open, respectful dialogue and maximum participation. (Gorski P 15-10-13).
In order to provide a healthy environment, it is essential to establish the boundaries of acceptable behaviour with the students. Ground rules can be established by the teacher, by the students, or by both. It is beneficial however if the students believe that their views and values are reflected in those rules.
Main Section
Although the use of ‘Ice Breakers’ is something I have not fully explored during my past teaching activities, I intend to start each session with such an activity in future as it is a good way for students to familiarise themselves with each other and address the natural anxiety many may feel on commencing a course. Ice breakers take many forms, and need to break down natural inhibitions. Mutual introductions, finding out unusual facts or simple shared tasks are among the many formats available and I intend to vary and develop my...

...I think using ground rules as an icebreaker; will be a good and enjoyable way to start a course and to get people interacting with each other. I will ask the learners to discuss and list what kind of rules they would like but there will also be mandatory rules which will be relevant to health and safety.
Sample of Rules:
* Turn mobile phones off or to silent
* Consistency with punctuality and attendance
* Respect each other and clients i.e. listening to and no interrupting others
* Ask for help when unsure or if needed
* Complete assignments on time
* Confidentiality with clients and fellow learners
* Always practice health and safety guidelines
* Keep work area clean and tidy at all times
* Prepare work area and necessary checks before client arrives
* Keep noise levels low when clients are being treated
* Be aware of others
There are rules which are relevant to the beauty industry which need to be in place that will change as to whether or not there are clients present or not. Also there some rules which are specific to a salon environment and the rules will change as to what kind of treatment is being taught or practised i.e. if a client was having a massage the area should be private and calm but with manicures the privacy is not necessarily needed.
Learners also need to be aware of their behaviour and what they are saying and doing so they do not offend or upset others in the group or clients, which is why the rule...

Expressed wishes and preferences – in this case you should understand the wishes of the service user and understand what they would prefer to eat.
General nutrition principles – as a care you should explain the benefits of healthy nutritious food so that they can make an informed decision. You could use the healthy eating plate to help explain healthy eating.

This is also the case if they are vegan or vegetarian and choose not to eat certain food like meat.

...Unit008 – Roles, responsibilities and relationships in the lifelong learning sector.
In this assignment I am going to talk about the roles, responsibilities and relationships and boundaries of a teacher in the lifelong learning sector. I will be talking about key legislations, regulatory requirements, codes of practice relating to my own role. I will explain how to establish and maintain a safe and supportive learning environment. I will mention the teaching and learning cycle and what I can do to facilitate the learning of others.
1.2-1.4 The teaching and learning cycle (Gravels, 2011, p10) consists of the following phases; identifying needs &amp; planning, designing, facilitating, assessment and evaluation. The cycle can be started at any phase but should be followed all the way round for it to be most effective. There are many different roles, responsibilities and boundaries as a teacher, for example at the stage of planning my role is to plan what will be taught and when this will happen and my responsibility is to agreeing individual learning plans, writing realistic aims and having a contingency plan in place.
Is it my responsibility as a teacher to identify the needs of my learners and what is the most effective way for them to learn. To do this I need to find out as much as I can about them in the first stage of the teaching and learning cycle (identifying needs &amp; planning) if they require any additional aids in class, if they...
